To be honest, I'm not sure it's my cup of tea. From the Guardian/Observer:

Steve Rose: While this presents itself as a populist scientific enquiry, it
eventually reveals itself to be a mushy self-help manual for gullible
people...

Philip French: A smug, near-demented combination of quantum physics, New
Age mysticism and Californian solipsism. Truly terrible...

The Independent reviewed it more charitably
http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/film/news/story.jsp?story=639340
but it points out that "[the film's] producers and directors are members of
the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, a sect whose believers look for
guidance and wisdom to the utterances of Ramtha, via his "channeler", the
brassy 58-year-old woman in the film..."

However, thanks for pointing out the Cafe Scientifique events - they sound
really interesting!
